An alien virus ravages the world, its random results like a hand of cards. Infected ones draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are strangely mutated.
However, human nature reigns supreme. And one of the most enduring human drives is the search for love. Aces and jokers both want to find it or have lost it. . . or maybe you just want to use it for personal gain. Crazy, unconventional, heartwarming, strange and so familiar, this is love, Wild Cards style.
Within these stories:
A jewel thief seduces a famous actor only to find a long lost treasure.
A teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail tries to win her love à la Cyrano de Bergerac.
A man discovers his purpose in life after meeting a beautiful butterfly woman.
A young hero given the hideous name of Hero McHeroface finds comfort in the arms of an astrologer who hides his unique powers.
Pairing Up is how Wild Cards approach love – finding it, looking for it, losing it or making it – while Aces and Jokers enter the game with the highest stakes of all: betting on their hearts’ desire.
fans of Joker cards will be able to read Coupling on July 11 at your favorite bookstores and ebook stores, including Kobo (affiliate link).
